The nineteenth century was a period of change for German Jews. Those who lived in Europe experienced new economic, social, and political realities and opportunities. A sizable number of German Jews came to the United States in this period bringing their experience and memory to a land that welcomed diversity. On both sides of the Atlantic, German Jews were able to integrate into the general society in new and unprecedented ways. As Jews assimilated gendered norms from German and American society, the historic Jewish association of women with food preparation was compounded by modern middle- and upper-class visions of womanhood that saw women as connected to the home. Women's involvement in food-related matters was directly tied to their roles in the domestic sphere. This dissertation traces how foodways served as a means by which women helped Jews navigate the competing considerations of traditional Judaism and modern concerns with acculturation, nationalism, and class, and suggests news ways to understand Judaism.

On both sides of the Atlantic, German Jews were able to integrate into the general society in new and unprecedented ways.

520 $a This dissertation focuses on ways food was connected with Jewish daily and domestic life on many levels. Women influenced observance of kashrut, in specific homes, in ways not always in accord with the religious vision set out by rabbinic authorities. In cookbooks, in Germany in particular, a limited group of Jewish women found a vehicle through which to give public voice to the concept of Jewish living that they had developed in the kitchen. In the United States, the unique geographic, historical, and social circumstances of Jewish life both limited and heightened the role food played in Jewish life. Finally, on both sides of the Atlantic, food played an important part in blurring the lines between the private and public spheres. Despite the limitations of authority directly tied to the domestic sphere, women's roles in purchasing, preparing and presenting food within the home, gave them a measure of control of and influence on domestic Jewish life from specific religious aspects to communal functions.
